[quote=@Digizel]The only questions I really have are: 

Is there a name for somebody who has bonded with a dragon? Like Rider or Tamer or something?

And how does a person traditionally end up with a dragon? Is it somebody's job to choose who gets the ability to bond with a dragon? Or can, say, a human kinda just stumble upon an egg out in the wild for one reason or another?

"Trainer" is the most widely used, though some variations exist based on what kind of dragon a trainer is bonded to, or in some cases there are regional names.

Dragon hatchings tend to happen like clockwork in captivity, though there are some exceptions (for example, mixed breed clutches--though rare on account of most breeders wanting to keep bloodlines pure-- rarely hatch at a set time). Nest temperature is monitored on an hourly basis by farmhands; however first-time mothers tend to be snappy with anyone who isn't their trainer or a similarly trusted human. Eggs are usually laid around the time that the twin moons are full (when the debris that makes them up is most condensed), and depending on the subspecies and breed of dragon the clutch can take between two and three months to incubate. In this time, the owner of the dragon invites a number of people to attend the hatching; however public hatchings are quite common among richer breeders, where they will invite their entire community to take part in the event.

As for feral dragons... well, are you familiar with how crocodilians protect their young? Ishtarian dragons are somewhat similar, though they take care of their young for longer. That, and if they suspect their nest/hatchlings are in form of danger, they take a "kill now, ask questions later" approach. And I do emphasize "kill" in that statement. Not "scare away" or "intimidate", but "kill".
